I wish to use the rotate feature extensively for storage (every use). How difficult is it to rotate the screen? Other product suggestions?

Any sort of rotation or adjustments require in screwing. It won't be quick and easy. Assuming you're talking about rotating the tv.

I just figured out how to do this! The frame comes with a remote that has a "Rotate" button, so as the photos come up you can rotate them individually and they look great. The problem is, the frame does not save the orientation. I put the SD card back into my laptop, (Windows 7) and selected all the JPEG files. Right click to get the drop down menu and select "Rotate Clockwise" once. This will make all the photos appear on their side. I put the SD card back in the frame, while the frame is standing upright and all 262 photos are displaying correctly!

The globe does not rotate automatically (I try to imagine how this feature could be helpful, but think it would be a hindrance to globe usage); you can, however, make it rotate manually. One less thing to go wrong, eh?

Sorry...don't know. I only use my digital frames in landscape position. The portrait orientation pics show up in the middle of the screen with some space on either side. I like it that way.

It does not swivel sideways at all. It does not lay flat as far as the screen laying all the way back (due to the battery pack) but it does lay flat on the control panel/DVD unit for a semi flat box unit. It's hard to explain how it can lay flat on the DVD unit but the screen pivots to do this.

You can turn it a full 360 degrees. But when its in its holder you cant turn it from left to right or anything. I hope that makes sense.

Not so much "rotate" as flip it. The iPad can flip over to share with somebody sitting across from you. It's very useful in my husband's landscaping business, he can effortlessly share his ideas with his clients

How? The manual stinks and I can't figure it out. I rotated it manually but it goes back to the original orientation.

I found that if I removed the bottom, the top more easily twisted off. Maybe something about the way the screen section can tweak without the bottom support? I don't know. Once I had removed it the first time, I replaced the bottom, filled it, and did not have further problems with twisting the top off and on.

The monitor only has two positions, open and closed. When open, it is only at that same angle that you see pictured. It seems like a good angle for general use, and all of the reviews say the viewing angles of the screen are very good, although I haven't seen it for myself. I am also wondering whether the limitation has been problematic for anyone who has used the device for a while.

Yes! However, you have to make sure you select the rotation tab in the settings menu.

Stanley, I can relate to that so I turn the screen like a fixed screen unit and use it most of the time like that.That way I avoid opening and close every time.

No it can not rotate to portrait orientation. It can just swing back and forth.

Sorry, this was sent out to a client site and I never really checked on the functionality. However you can adjust the screen angle from what I remember. When you ask if it can swivel, you want to put long ways? If that's the case, then I don't believe it did. If it's an option we use arm mounts on the desk to have multiple monitors or wall mounts that are capable of doing that.

I haven't actually measured it, but my wife has a large DELL laptop with a 15" screen and it fits with plenty of room to spare. I'm not certain what you mean by "rotate," but the stand raises and lowers and the laptop part tilts approximately 45 degrees. The stand moves easily over carpet and we are very satisfied with it.

you need to get a VESA mount that could do it, this monitor has vesa mount holes on the back. the stock stand will not rotate the monitor.

According to Samsung's website, this screen is VESA mount compatible. And there are some VESA mounts that do rotate 45 degrees. However, I just found a comment from a Samsung website from a Samsung rep that said it shouldn't exceed a 25 degree angle. Because I can't find anything that says it can be rotated to 45 degrees, I wouldn't do it. Here is Samsung's toll free number 1(888)987-4357. Give them a call to get a better answer.
